Islamic Spain: Model of Peaceful Coexistence
نویسنده
چکیده
The Islamic world of preand early medieval Spain has elicited the interest of many religious and secular scholars because of the peaceful coexistence by diverse ethnic and religious communities. The Moorish presence in Spain is still a subject of debate. Was Islam beneficial to Spain? What course would history have taken without the Muslim presence? What are the lingering results of Spain’s relationship with Islam? Why did the Moors stop short of occupying the entire peninsula at the height of their expansive campaign? How were they able to depart so elegantly at the end of the 16th century? Answers to these questions depict one of the most glorious chapters in Spain’s history with a civilization far superior to anything Spain had ever known.

متن کاملLanguage Contact: Peaceful Coexistence or Emergence of a Contact Language
This paper presents a simple model of linguistic priming between languages in contact, based on the utterance selection model (USM) for language change of Baxter et al. (2006).
